An effective way of making a perfect miter is
to cut the workpiece slightly long and sand it
to the desired angle.
To perform miter sanding operations, do
these steps:
1. Loosen the knob on the miter gauge,
adjust the miter gauge body to the desired
angle and tighten the knob.
2. Hold the workpiece firmly against the
miter gauge.
3. Slide the workpiece along the face of the
miter gauge into the left side of the
sanding disc as shown in Figure 11.

To perform angle sanding operations, do
these steps:
1. Loosen the handles securing the table, use
the angle gauge to set the angle, and
tighten the table lock handles.
2. Slide the miter gauge into its slot and use
it to hold your workpiece in position.
3. With light, but firm pressure, push the
workpiece slowly into the downspin side of
the sanding disc (Figure 12).
